    I have a very nice 68 riviera I would like to sell. Low miles, nice options, original drive train.
    $13,500.00 Seymour, IN.

    WOW! You are being modest, it looks way better than very nice.
    How low are the miles?

    Thanks for the compliment :) It has 45,000 miles on it. It has a couple small flaws like pitted door handles and the spear on the hood has started to loose its color in spots. I will have to say I've never seen an interior any better. I hope to get it passed on to another Buick guy before I'm forced the ebay route.

    Thanks again
    Pat

    They are part of the "Circulaire fresh-air ventilation system", eliminating the need for vent windows in the doors.

    LOL I guess I strike again! I needed to post 10 posting so I would be allowed to post links.
    Speaking of deals, I was going to buy a 1968 Rivi from a man that had no idea of its worth for only $200! Thats not it, the car had a rebuilt 455 that had not been turned over because they were looking for an oil pan with a center sump. I was then told that it had some weird air cleaner on it, he then said, I was told it was the Star wars air cleaner. I know it doesnt belong there but that alone was worth the small fee of $200! As I called a towing company, after telling him i'd buy it, He flaked on me and sold it!:Dou: I never forgave him!

    Thank you, Hey I have a question, What carb would you recommend for my 68 Rivi with a 455? I have the original 430 engine carb on it. Are there any gains from a q-jet 800cfm?

    Thanks

    Nice looking car you have there by the way, as you can see, Mine has a lot of work to do, I want to have it in at least drivable condition by prom, yup started off young, I got my Riv when I was 12 and have been fixing it up since 16, I'm almost 18 and I still haven't enjoyed it to the fullest!


    thanks :3gears:
